GOAL FOR OUR STUDENTS: To recognize my own value and strengths, and identify the value and strengths of others.

THE MAIN POINT: Students who know they are valuable act and respond very differently than students who do not know their value and worth. Take some time over the next few weeks to remind your student that you value them.

FAMILY CONVERSATION STARTERS: When you recognize your value, you can recognize the value of others. It’s often easy to think about the things that you wish you were better at. Today, stop to consider the things that you like about yourself.

• What is something that makes you unique and valuable?
• What is something you find unique and valuable in one of your friends, siblings, or parents?
